I'm back with more developments.
>Warner Bros. list for Robin has come down to Richard Harmon, Taron Edgerton, and Jack O'Connell
>Richard Madden, Harry Lloyd and Garret Hedlund are being courted for Nightwing
>Ben Affleck is currently doing screen tests with said actors
>Ben Affleck & Jared Leto have meet up to talk about the script with Terrio & are excited about recent developments
>They've gone out to say that the movie will be a contained personal story, that won't be dragged down by the needs to build a cinematic universe
>The film is sort of a prequel/present day story
>The events of Suicide Squad will be answered in this standalone
>David Ayer has been brought on as executive producer
>Warner Bros is very excited for this film, and Affleck has all but confirmed that he will direct
>The studio plans to announce the solo Batfleck film at this year's comic-con
I didn't see my previous thread in the catalog, I'm guessing it got archived, so I made another thread for you guys.
My sources tell me that WB has been very receptive of recent criticisms toward BvS and are looking to deliver fans the definitive DC comic book film.
Also
>Patrick, how long do you think Ben will want to play Batman?
>WHITESELL Well, he's contracted to do at least Justice League One and Two, so at least three times wearing the cape. And there's a script that he's written that is a really cool [Batman] idea, so that's out there as an option.

Do you think he wore the suit while he did it?
>>81267993
This isn't the OP. This is an official Hollywood Reporter article.
Nice article nonetheless, but it isn't a genuine leak like the OP.
>>81267928
>Taron Edgerton
I like the guy, but it feels like his name is brought up for everything. Don't make him the next JLaw or whoever
HYPE HYPE HYPE HYPE HYPE
OP its right here

>>81268220Who has the nicest ass
For real, though, Richard Madden seems a bit too rough-edged to be Dick. If Garret dyed his hair black, I could definitely see it.
>>81268085

>>81267928
What about UtRH storyline? Are they planning to do it?
>>81267928
Most of this sounds very nice, let us see how DC destroys my hopes this time.
So this is supposed to be a mash up of Death in the Family and The Killing Joke?
Until Snyder is ousted from the DCEU, I don't really give a crap.
>>81268502
Like how BvS was a mash of TDKR and Death of Superman
>>81268538
Snyder is a good director. He was just bogged down by the studio's desire to jam shit into the movie for future team-up films.
>>81268502
That will probably be the prequel part with UtRH being the present day part.
>>81267928
>Ben Affleck & Jared Leto have meet up to talk about the script with Terrio & are excited about recent developments
>Ben Dressed as Batman, Jared as the Joker and Terrio as Alan Moore.
>>81268573
>Snyder is a good director.
>>81268041
>the script features the phrase 'PEW PEW PEW' seventeen times
>>81268557
So in short Jason is going to die, Babs is going to get crippled, and Bats all of this is the start of bat branding.
>>81268589
So wait, why do UtRH before BvS? I guess that works
>I'm gonna make shit up and post it on /co/
>Those retards will believe anything without question
>>81267928
hi cavill
>>81268714
I don't believe OP. I'm just having fun posting about it. Anything to make the work day go faster.
>>81268650
No, UtRH is post-BvS, TKJ+DitF is pre-BvS
>>81268851
Well I guess Jason would totally have the ability to call Bruce a hypocrite in the post BvS sequel.
>>81267928
>Garret Hedlund
Now I know why he was so familiar. He was in Four brothers.
>>81268041
>Batman, Produced, Directed By. Written by and Starring Ben Affleck
jesus
>>81268379
Marvel already did it
>>81268930
Pretty much, I actually am excited for that
>>81268247
Hmm, I won't mind him as Jason.
>>81268041
Yes. He even hired a Mexican butler and called him Alfred and forced him to talk in a terrible British accent.
>>81268714
To be honest everything in the OP sounds very plausible.
>>81268220
I don't want Dick in it at all
Or the DCEU in general
I know I'll hate what they do with him so I'd much rather they do that thing where Batman fucked up real bad and Dick wants nothing to do with him and never appears ever
can we get a superman script now?
>>81269038
Wow I guess he's really good at making shit up then
So it's going to be the Killing Joke and Under the Red Hood?
>>81267928
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/ben-affleck-has-written-his-879355
>Ben Affleck Has Written His Own 'Batman' Script
>>81269070
You sound jealous? If you don't believe OP then just leave.
>>81269103
death in the family, not UtRH
>>81269221
>You sound jealous?
You sound moronic?
>>81269258
>UTRH is the sequel
Gotta milk the Joker for all he's worth
Op why are you making these threads pretending to be a legitimate source of information
i mean we can discuss these RUMORS thats ok with me
but dont pretend like youre some kind of backdoor oracle
nobody in your last thread bought it either
>>81269221
He doesn't sound jealous at all, m8. You don't actually believe OP, do you?
>>81269258
DitF and The killing Joke are far too short for a movie they should make death in the family and the Killing joke as flashbacks and have Under the red hood in the present day.
>>81268930
Actually sounds great, would love to see a scene showing how much Batman has changed in fighting crime. Like say in the past they show how lenient he is with criminals and then show him bat branding people in the present
From the other thread:
>Dick becomes Nightwing and moves to Bludhaven
>Bruce has Jason Todd as new Robin
>Joker plans an attack on the Bat family
>Kidnap Barbara and torture her while constantly her pics to Gordon
>Batman gets mad and let his rage consume him
>meanwhile young and careless Jason falls into Joker trap while trying to rescue Barb
>when Bat realizes Robin is capture, it is too late
>Bat is completely defeated with Barb being crippled and Jason missing (presumably dead)
>Batman becomes Punisher, starting torturing and branding criminals
*TIME SKIP*
>Batman calms himself down and somewhat regains his sanity after the BvS event
>Nightwing comes back to see his old mentor as Bruce is no longer raging
>Gotham has a new vigilante Red Hood which is even more brutal than Batman in his Punisher mode
>Batman and Nightwing together try to stop the new comer.
>Red Hood mocks Batman for trying to stop him from killing people considered Batman recent years of insanity
>The drama reaches the climax as Red Hood reveals himself to be Jason and asks Batman to choose between him and the Joker
>of course Batman fucking chooses the Joker
>Red Hood is ultimately pissed
>some explosion and shit
>last scene with Bat Affleck and Joker Leto laughing together (The Killing Joke)
>>81269543
>Laughing together
After all that shit? Yeah right. Then again this is the same studio who pulled the Death of Superman card way early
>>81269353
I do, yeah, since what he's saying ties in with the Ben Affleck Hollywood Reporter article that was just published.
>every actor is in his 25's
Yeah it's Jason as in his Red Hood persona, probably gonna get some random kid to play Robin, also kep in mind that Jena Malone was mistakenly listed as Batgirl instead of oracle.
>>81269543
Sounds pretty cool
>>81269543
That actually sounds like a good Mashup of DitF and Killing Joke.
>>81269543
This all sounds great
Even though Joker would be the main focus, Id still love to see Penguin and Black Mask appear for the sake of world building. Two crime organizations pissed that The Joker owns Gotham
>>81269543
This...This is actually pretty good?
>>81269640
>After all that shit?
Yes just like in the comic
>>81267928
It's going to be Red Hood isn't it? Geoff Johns is in love with Res Hood and WB loves the Joker. We'll going to get a movie with Batflek lecturing Jason Todd that Murdering is bad unless he does it aren't we?
>>81268220
Harry Lloyd looks exactly right for the part
>>81270174
>yfw Tommy Wiseau is cast as Lobo
>>81268988
You say that like its a bad thing.
>>81270212
You joke but I honestly think that if they cut his hair he'd make a great Bizarro
>>81268085
stop samefagging shit head
Dick Grayson is going to get shit on so much in this if any of this is true, lol. I can already see his fans raging now.
>>81270355
Wouldn't be that much different than his roles in the video games and animated movies. I dunno why they'd expect anything more than Dick helping Batman, joking around, and getting beat up half way through.
>>81268573
Snyder is the guy who comes up with the worst ideas.
>>81270355
>>81270422
Every Robin's role has been to get BTFO so Batman can save them, since the beginning. Why would that change now?
>>81267928
>mfw I loved BvS despite its horrible pacing
>mfw I wouldn't be suprised if Affleck lost hope
>>81269543
Fucking terrible. Nice **time skip** fag. Last scene with Bats and Joker laughing together will sure bode well for the DCCU.
They can do Red Hood and Barbs getting shot all events before BvS. He was Batman for 20 fucking years.
A solo Ben ibn al-Fleck film? Maybe, if he doesn't kill himself within the next few weeks.
>>81268247
>Robin was a child murderer
Shit son.
>>81270180
whose idea was it to put Geoff Johns (the guy who hates Batman) on the solo Batman movie? the only batman story he's read is under the red hood (and look how well arkham knight turned out!)
why didn't they put bruce timm or scott snyder or o'neil on the batman movie and put geoff johns on the aquaman or flash movie?
>>81270504
They are going to have Red Hood beat up Nightwing to make Batman pissed I bet.
>>81270723
Rich people don't kill themselves.
>>81270612
You can do any Bat-story pre-BvS, doesn't mean they should tho. UtRH being post-BvS while TKJ and DitF is pretty is the best way about it, gives plenty of time for Jason to develop into RH
Fuck it let's do CoO as Y1 while we're at it.
>>81268573

>>81267928
Ok so will Batman just straight up murder the Joker in this universe? He had no qualms in killing random mooks, hell he wanted and almost did kill Superman.
How will they explain Joker surviving? Joker will just be such a fucking Badass Batman can't touch him or something?
the better question is, who is gonna be Selina?
>>81271272
the end of bvs can easily set up him not being okay with people being killed
>>81267928
i like how you removed the black guy actor's name for Nightwing.
your story is shit.
>>81271298
Gal Gadot.
>>81271105
Yeah, fuck those literally who's. Everyone knows Justin Bieber would make a good Nightwing on name alone.
>>81271356
It was actually for Jason.
>>81271272
It's going to look so stupid with him willing to kill random thugs to him refusing to kill the Joker. He's going to look like an idiot as the Joker's body count piles up in the movie.
>>81271467
>black Jason
making the violent Robin, who got the job by stealing black... Nope no problem there greenlight it Warner bros.
>>81267928
You know, if it wasn't for the god aweful face tattoos, Leto would look like the perfect Joker.
>>81271590
Personally Im not opposed to Joker having tattoos, because in this context it makes sense as "best memories with the bat", but the the DAMAGED ink is certainly the one bothering people. At least its a small font....
>>81271543
Yup, I pretty much said that WB will be freaking suicidal if they done that.
>>81271771
Im surprised they didnt get shit for Joe Chill
>>81269274
Death in the Family
Under the Red Hood
The part of Dark Knight Returns where he finally decides to kill Joker
Joker Trilogy
>>81267928
Is that a real pic of Leto, or a manip somehow? I'm not a huge fan of TKJ but that looks pretty sweet.
I'm fucking ready.
And now that Zimmer is retiring from making Superhero Scores, they should get Christopher Drake for Batman Scores (hint: he did UtRH Score)
>>81271874
>The part of Dark Knight Returns where he finally decides to kill Joker
please end this meme
>>81268220
Lloyd or Hedlund but from what I remember seeing him in Lloyd seems too tall for Dick.
>>81272010
it's Leto's face superimposed on the photo of a really good cosplayer named Anthony misiano
>>81269543
>Jason falls into Joker trap while trying to rescue Barb
Jason/Barbara romance incoming. There are no Titans to be with off in space so Dick is going to look bad by not helping out there.
>>81272104
But Hedlund's apparently taller so fuck if I know
>>81272168
Dick was gonna look bad anyway if he leaves Batman after Jason and Barbara die and get hurt
>>81271343
Yes but this is set up before that.
>>81272231
>Dick comes back from Bludhaven for the climax, still salty at Bruce, and essentially helping him clean up his own mess
The only nigga that can play Red Hood
>that perfect vague ethnicity filling every diversity quota
Also good for Nightwing
>>81267928
>white Robin and white Nightwing
Not happening
>>81272141
Thanks! Ah, I know that cosplayer, he's brilliant. Good manip though.
>>81268220
Huge Dickfag and I'd honestly be okay with either of them. I liked Madden and Lloyd on GOT. Don't know Hedlund but as long as he's got some charisma and talent, he'd be fine too. Hope whoever gets it will be able to pull of the acrobatics.
I actually really like the idea of Steven Yuen as Nightwing from the other thread, too.
>>81270199
Huh, not bad
>>81272390
Wow, he would actually be great. He has that look of corrupted innocence. His voice is also kinda like Ackles
>>81270893
Wasn't that what happened in the Under the Red Hood cartoon? Except that Jason didn't do it with his own hands.
>>81272446
Get ready for Black Dick then cos no way they're making Jason >>81271543
>>81271771
Tumblr really wants a Mexican Jason and that astounds me for the same reason.
>>81272390
Who the fuck is that supposed to be?
>>81272858
People will riot. Also, Roma erasure
>>81272863
Mexicans really love Jason Todd and Red Hood, they are try hards casual comic fans
Source: I'm building wall
>>81272793
I mainly meant for The Killing Joke part. The excuse they say why dick wasn't there is that he was off in space with the Titans.
Dick is from a traveling circus. Jason is a poor kid from the inner city. I'd honestly be a little surprised if they don't make Jason another race, but maybe they see Dick as the more expendable one so they could change his race too I suppose.
>>81273168
I wouldn't mind if Jason was black.
>>81270906
Robin Williams did.
>>81272390
I agree. He's a decent actor, I think. He sells it well enough in the 100. At least in season 1 and 2. haven't seen season 3 yet.
>>81270875
To be fair, I doubt Geoff really came up with the Jason twist.
>>81273168
So what, there's no such thing as a poor white person now? Most of the inhabitants of the ghetto ass group home I deliver food to twice weekly for my community service are white people. Plenty of white people in the rest of the neighborhood too.
I'm not automatically against the idea of race swapping as long as the actor has talent, but that's a really stupid way to justify it.
Who's Casey Affleck going to play?
>>81274831
Owlman.
>>81268573
He's an idea man. Things like story and characterization are pushed aside for ham-fisted metaphors and giant set pieces that are lit poorly.
>>81268988
Would that make Ben the Tommy Wiseau of capeshit?
>>81275165
It's really too bad since he's the kind of guy who tries to make the cowl neck-turnable (without going the helmet route).
>>81270875
Geoff hating Batman is a meme. People just don't like that he sometimes writes Bruce like an asshole, despite the fact that Bruce being an asshole was pretty consistent for most of the 90's and 00's.
>>81274587
It was mainly comparing Dick's background to Jason's and which one would be easier to have their race changed.
>>81267928
Batfleck sucked anus in BvS and we haven't seen jared. This doesn't look good.
I loved the Batcave/Batmobile/Batsuit in Batman vs Superman.
Since this is a prequel, is there a possibility that Batffleck will have a different Batsuit, Bat Symbol, or longer ears? I doubt it, since it's the best Batman costume for films yet. I think it would be a cool if he had more containers for his different suits if he had any like in the movie or in Batman the animated series.
>>81272094
What meme? He does Kill Joker
>>81267928
>Prequel, so no Justice League advertising
>Affleck and Terrio writing
>Affleck directing
Holy shit, this sounds perfect.
Unlike most I loved BvS, but keeping the films different will be key to making this series good.
>>81267928
>>Ben Affleck & Jared Leto have meet up to talk about the script with Terrio
I don't know what to think about Terrio.
Was the BvS script his fault? Goyer? Studio interference? Snyders?
The latest ep of Collider Heroes got me thinking about him. Sure he's clearly an amazing writer (Academy Award for best screenplay) but his he a superhero writer? does he know why so many people had problems with BvS?
>implying they'll use the Batfamily in their solo film they're super afraid of being shit on the way critics did to BvS
Normies hate the idea of the Batfamily in a serious Batman film. They want solo Batman. This is what we're getting.
>>81271272
Pretty much the only way it's going to work and not be completely fucking retarded is if he's Jason Todd. The Batman BvS gave us would have ZERO reason otherwise, to not kill Joker.
